How is this gaming PC build?

[AJLefty015]

Hello, I was wondering what you guys thought of this computer build? What could I do to improve it and how can I save money? Keep in mind that I'm only 14 and have limited money, so suggestions shouldn't raise the price. (For the graphics card I want to get a GTX 1060)
Thanks

Will this computer stay cool enough? I am scared it will overheat.http://pcpartpicker.com/list/qBqfHN

 

[AJLefty015]

Also, will the RAM I have selected work with the Mobo? The Ram says 2400, but the Mobo says 2133.

It will run cool. The case has 2 fans taht will do the job.

You can add another one in teh front to improve airflow even further: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/cXg323/arctic-cooling-case-fan-afaco120p2gba01

Everything will work. Teh site would have told you if there were any such issues.

 

[AJLefty015]

I know it will work, but what I am confused about is if I will get my speeds I want. The ram is 2400MHz, and the processor says something about 2133 Mhz. Will is slow my ram down to that speed or will it stay at the 2400MHz?

 

[Hlsgsz]

It will work at 2133Mhz flawlessly as ram is made to work on lower frequecy. The stated 2400 is only the maximum it can achieve wihtout overclocking, not the only frequency it can work at.
Regardless, it doesn't matter.

 

[AJLefty015]

So it will change frequency depending on the temperature of the computer? I know that is how the cpu work with the turbo boost.

 

[CountMike]

Wrong on both counts.
Turbo boost have nothing to do with temperature and neither does RAM.

 

[AJLefty015]

Oh, so when does the frequency change and when does the turbo activate then?

 

[CountMike]

CPU frequency goes up and down with the load and RAM frequency stays as set in BIOS. Occasionally CPU may throttle down if overheated and RAM has no such ability but generally doesn't overheat

 

[AJLefty015]

Okay I understand, thanks. In BIOS would that be a good idea to set it to 2400MHz?

 

[Hlsgsz]

Okay I understand, thanks. In BIOS would that be a good idea to set it to 2400MHz?

No. And you can't as the MB only supports 2133Mhz.
Plus, once again, it doesn;t matter.

 

[AJLefty015]

Doesn't the Mhz affect the speed? If this is the case should I get cheaper RAM that is 2133MHz?

 

[Hlsgsz]

Doesn't the Mhz affect the speed? If this is the case should I get cheaper RAM that is 2133MHz?

Not really. For all intents nad purposes, it doesn't really matter. If there is cheaper 2133 Mhz RAM, ofcourse you should get that instead, just liek i've put in the buidl i linked 😉

Let me get thsi straight, what are you gettign in teh end?

 

[AJLefty015]

I want a good gaming computer, but I also want the best for my money. I have chosen a new RAM. Hoepfully that works.http://pcpartpicker.com/list/CMMWD8

- $19 more to get 16 gigs of ram is really merited
- no pc should be without an ssd these days. definitely worth the $37

 

[AJLefty015]

Okay thanks, that SSD looks good. I think I will want to invest in one simply for the start up time.

Indeed. So you install Windows straight to it. I throughly recommend a 240GB one though, if you want some of your games to takle advantage aswell: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/gf98TW/a-data-internal-hard-drive-asp550ss3240gmc
Again, worth 20 more.

 

[AJLefty015]

How much space will I have left on it once I put Windows 10 on it?

Windows + the usual suspects takes about 30GB with pagefile and everything.
120 is a little tight: you will eb able to fit one game max, maybe 2 if you push it.
240 is teh sweetspot.

 

[AJLefty015]

I probably wont put any games on it. I may put 1 if I feel like it, but I think I think for someone like me who is on a tight budget just using it as a start up drive should be fine.

100% correct.

 

[AJLefty015]

Okay thanks for your help! I think my computer is going to end up really well and I can't wait to see the benchmarks for the GTX 1060!

100% correct.

Its probably best to get a cheap SSD anyways if I'm just using for start up right?

Yes any SSD is tons better than no SSD
Try to get the Adata though, as i know those are good.
